This acquisition will be made in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6 “Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and solicitation for commercial Items,” as applicable, and as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation (a written solicitation will not be issued) and quotes are being requested. The Solicitation number is RFQ-NIAID-24-2230543 and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotes (RFQ). This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The solicitation documents and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2024-04 May 22, 2024. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1000 employees. The requirement is being competed with a brand name restriction, and without a small business set-aside. Project Description: The Caliciviruses Section of the LID has a current requirement for equipment that consist of 10X Genomics Chromium X and Accessory Kit with a 12 Month Warranty. The Division of Intramural Research Laboratory, Laboratory of Infectious Diseases (LID) focuses on viral vaccine development, host immune response to viruses, and viral molecular biology and genetics. The Caliciviruses Section of the LID, studies viral agents that cause acute gastroenteritis, including vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Noroviruses are the most important calicivirus associated with human disease. Immunocompromised patients can develop chronic norovirus infection, but no approved drugs and vaccines are available. This is due, in part, to restricted cell culture systems for the human noroviruses. This work aims to develop highly permissive cell lines in which to study the replication of human noroviruses. These cell lines will then be applied to the evaluation of vaccines and therapeutics. The goal of the Calicivirus Section is to identify permissive cell types to human norovirus (HNV) infection and characterize host factors that mediate cellular tropism of the virus, such as HNV receptors, by comparing gene expression levels between infected and uninfected cells by single-cell RNA seq technology. The Caliciviruses Section of the LID is requesting the purchase of a new state-of-the-art 10XGenomics system (Chromium X) that will provide a high resolution analysis of norovirus replication in human intestinal cells that should provide new insight into rational drug design and improvement of cell culture systems for the human noroviruses. The items described and the procedures developed with the items described build on years of experience with the 10X Genomics technology. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Caliciviruses Section has a requirement for the following Brand Name Supplies: Description of need: Chromium X & Accessory Kit, 12 Mo.
